Chapter 336: Wenger listens to the radio
Arsenal's goal is a great thing!
The current game makes Zhang Yang understand a little why Arsenal will lose to Barcelona in his memory, and he will play with ten men in the first half, and when there is one less, the gap is too big.
Arsenal were poor both offensively and defensively.
Barcelona's performance is actually very average, and it has not reached the peak of the 'Dream II Team', and it cannot be said that there are frequent loopholes in defense, and it is not too tight, but the important thing is that Arsenal has one less person than Barcelona!
That's the key!
There is still a long time to go and it will be a little too difficult for Arsenal to beat Barcelona with 10 men.
But in such a passive situation, the goal was judged in the vision of 'foresight', so when Lineker explained, Zhang Yang also began to take the initiative to speak, "Arsenal still has a chance!" β
The flamboyant words gave Lineker's pessimistic speech a twist.
'We can see that in the past period, Barcelona have been playing around Arsenal, but Arsenal have shown tenacity and the defense at the back has not given the opponent a chance.
"Arsenal have 10 men, and it's not that they don't have the ability to fight back, and if the game continues like this, I think it's Barcelona, not Arsenal, it's dangerous!"
ββ¦β¦β
When Zhang Yang finished saying this, many people pursed the corners of their mouths, not believing what he said at all.
Lineker did the same, he and Zhang Yang looked at each other to make sure that Zhang Yang was not a 'neurotic confused mind', before he continued, "Yes, we also hope that Arsenal will have a chance to ......"
This sentence is a bit soft, obviously lacking confidence, and Arsenal is too passive on the main field.
Barcelona continued to attack, they laid siege to Arsenal in the half, and on two occasions they played the ball into the box, and although they did not shoot directly, the level of threat was already high, and it seemed that the next moment to score was a matter of course, not impossible.
In the fierce game, Lineker has been constantly commenting on the game, and many people have almost forgotten what Zhang Yang said.
That's when Arsenal fought back!
Arsenal's counter-attack was very quick, and it was lightning fast to beat the Barcelona half, and after Thierry Henry and Ljungberg combined together, the football was handed to Eboue, who dribbled the ball to get past Puyol, who could only intercept with a foul.
Yellow!
Kick!
Many Arsenal fans sighed regretfully, and many people were angrily scolding Puyol for not having a work ethic, and such a good opportunity was actually blocked with a foul.
Of course, fouls are also a means of playing football.
The Barcelona fans let out a long breath, they felt that Puyol had done the right thing, that he had done it so well that a yellow card to prevent the opponent's goal would be the ideal exchange.
As Arsenal prepared for a free-kick, Zhang Yang reminded, "Barcelona be careful!" This is a rare opportunity for Arsenal after Lehmann was sent off, and they will definitely cherish it! β
Thierry Henry takes the free-kick.
Thierry Henry kicked a shot over the heads of three defenders, and many people realized that it was actually a tactical free-kick, and the point of the ball was not the goal, but the defense over the human wall.
Campbell showed up at the drop point!
Campbell grabs in front of Oleg and shakes his head to attack the goal!
"The ball went in ββ!" Lineker let out the loudest shout since the opening, "Gooooooooooooal!" Campbell! Campbell! β
"Campbell! Campbell! He's an Arsenal hero! Arsenal came in with 10 men, but he helped his team take the lead! β
"It was a set-piece combination! Henry's shot looked like a direct shot, but it landed in the middle of the box, which made goalkeeper ValdΓ©s very uncomfortable, he hesitated and did not attack, missing the opportunity to defend the goal! β
'Campbell, the veteran defender, is the backbone of Arsenal's defence and the backbone of England's defence, and he has once again proven himself to be one of the best ...... in the world'
Lineker continued to yell, close to constantly praising Arsenal's cooperation, praising Henry's set-pieces and Campbell's performance, when he said everything in one breath, he finally remembered Zhang Yang, and suddenly asked with some excitement, "Zhang, how do you judge that Arsenal will have a chance?" β
Zhang Yang smiled, "I didn't know that Arsenal could score, in fact, I was just guessing: the mentality of the players of both teams, the analysis of the situation on the field, can come to the reason why Arsenal is easy to find opportunities." β
"As I said before, Barcelona has been attacking, they have one more than Arsenal, and it is easy to fall into the mistake of 'we should score faster' mentality, but Arsenal has one less person, and the defense is not affected much, but Barcelona is eager to score, which can easily lead to holes in the defense."
'Arsenal's mentality is the opposite, they know they're passive, but in football, it's often the passive side that is surprising. They persevered, even if Puyol fouled to stop the counterattack, they still persevered, in order to take their chances, and only if they could take their chances, they could beat Barcelona......"
When Zhang Yang analyzed the mentality of the two teams, the fans in front of the TV had a kind of 'really amazing' sigh, they didn't believe Zhang Yang's judgment before, but Arsenal was one less person, and they actually broke the goal first.
It's incredible!
When everyone didn't think Arsenal had a chance, but they found a chance to complete the goal, Zhang Yang was the only one who said that those so-called football commentators, all kinds of analysis were not optimistic about Arsenal.
Now the results prove: "It's still a flamboyant judgment that is credible!" β
Many fans also left messages on the Internet--
"Watching a football game, you still have to listen to Zhang Yang's commentary!"
"Zhang Yang is just a guest, but he is much better than Lineker, every time I hear Lineker speak, I am about to fall asleep, as soon as Zhang Yang speaks, I immediately wake up!"
"Listen to Zhang Yang's right! Don't question what he says! β
"Ten minutes ago, Zhang Yang said that Arsenal had a chance to threaten Barcelona, and none of you believed it!"
"I've never questioned Zhang Yang!"
"Zhang Yangcai is professional! Zhang Yangcai is professional! Zhang Yangcai is professional! How many times do you have to remind it before you can remember it completely! β
ββ¦β¦β
The Internet was immediately filled with all kinds of praise and admiration, as if Arsenal could score because they said they could.
Zhang Yang may have this ability...... Ahem...... But he didn't really use it, he has a good relationship with Arsene Wenger, but against Arsenal and Barcelona, he definitely maintains a neutral mentality.
When seeing Arsenal score, not only the fans think Zhang Yang is powerful, but the managers of BT Sports feel that it is completely worth paying more, although Zhang Yang is only a guest commentator and did not appear directly, but the judgment just now will definitely be reported by major media, and they must be accompanied by a picture of Zhang Yang in the live broadcast room, which will be equivalent to indirectly promoting BT Sports.
Others were excited, too.
The happiest were the whole Arsenal team, who celebrated wildly on the pitch, and manager Arsene Wenger also stood up and walked to the sideline to hug the assistant coach.
In the camera lens, you can see that Wenger is wearing headphones, a manager with headphones in the game, it is not a big deal, many coaches have similar habits, the headphones are generally connected to the muffler, the noise on the field is too noisy, sometimes it will become very difficult to understand what the people around you say, and the assistance of electronic devices is very effective.
Unbeknownst to others, Arsene Wenger was actually listening to the BBC's live broadcast.
Arsene Wenger doesn't listen all the time, when the game gets tense he switches to silent mode and only listens to a few words when the game eases a bit.
Wenger just thought it was interesting, so he did it, and it was really interesting to watch the team play and listen to Zhang Yang's analysis.
Arsene Wenger heard Zhang Yang's judgment on the game.
"Will Arsenal have a chance?" Even Arsene Wenger himself would not dare to make such a judgment.
Arsenal played too passively!
Barcelona have been pressing the attack, they have control in midfield, they have more time on the ball, they have more passes, more attacks and more threats on the ball, where are the opportunities for Arsenal?
Wenger just listened to it and didn't take it to heart, not thinking at all that it was really Arsenal who scored first.
That's amazing, isn't it?
How did this young Chinese man make his judgment? Maybe it's like he said, just judging by the mentality of the players on both sides? But what he said doesn't make sense at all!
For example, two teams with very different strengths play each other.
It's like the domestic FA Cup, occasionally there will be a confrontation between the giants and the non-professional league teams, the non-professional league teams will definitely be suppressed all the time, and the giants will want to score goals as soon as possible, so will the non-professional league teams have a chance?
The young Chinese was talking nonsense, but the key thing was that his judgment came true, and Arsenal really found a chance and scored a goal.
Arsene Wenger just thought it was amazing, "Maybe it's his luck!" No matter how he thinks, he can only attribute the reason to luck.
This may be a clichΓ©.
There are many media outlets that occasionally mention 'luck' when talking about the success of Zhang Yang's team with Millwall, because they can't find a direct reason, Zhang Yang's ability to lead the team is affirmed, but how can a team with average strength insist on performing well and win the first place in the league?
It's hard to imagine!
Frank and flamboyant ability to lead the team is worthy of recognition, but Millwall's championship must have some luck elements, such as injuries during the season, excellent performance of young players, etc., in fact, it can be attributed to luck.
Now Zhang Yang judged that Arsenal had the opportunity to threaten the Barcelona goal, even if it was the result of analysis, but there is a lot of uncertainty in football games, and what kind of analysis is not 100% accurate.
When Wenger thought so, he listened to the discussion between Zhang Yang and Lineker in the headphones.
Zhang Yang said of Arsene Wenger, "I know Arsene Wenger, he is a very good person, I also like his coaching style, he is something to learn from. β
"Arsenal, under Arsene Wenger, have a more practical style and say that Arsenal play attacking football, but in reality, in many games, they will also focus on defence, and not all of them have already won the attack."
"Arsenal's style, in fact, is also on the practical side. In the current game, Arsenal have one less man to play, but their practical football also makes Barcelona difficult to play, if Barcelona do not control the ball, or if there is a mistake in the front, they have to be very careful. β
'Arsenal are good at taking chances. The goal just now, perhaps Arsene Wenger had expected it, and he would tell the players how to play in an unfavorable situation. β
'It's crucial because we can see that Arsenal are not flustered by one man less, they are playing better and better......
Listening to the sound in the headphones, Wenger pulled the corners of his mouth, what this Chinese said seemed to be true, but how did he not know that he also told the players 'how to play in an unfavorable situation', the players on the field performed well, completely hoping to beat Barcelona's fighting spirit support!
Wenger is not in the mood to refute Zhang Yang, maybe he doesn't need to refute it, because what Zhang Yang said is very good, anyway, he likes to listen to it very much.
Arsenal fans love to hear it too.
When they heard Zhang Yang praise Arsene Wenger, they all felt 'it should have been', "It turns out that the biggest contributor to the goal is Mr. Wenger!" β
Zhang Yang didn't know what Wenger and the fans were thinking.
In fact, he said that these are just talking about football-related topics, and that live football shows are also programs, and the commentators and guests are chatting, and they also want to talk about topics that fans are interested in.
Neither side scored again in the first half.
Forty minutes later, Barcelona bombarded Arsenal's half, but in the end Arsenal still held the goal, but the situation was not happy, Arsenal did not seem to have much ability to fight back, their counter-attack did not threaten Barcelona anymore, and happily, they held on to their lead.
When it was time for the intermission, in addition to the advertisements on the TV screen, there would also be images of the live broadcast room, and the freedom of Lineker and Zhang Yang's commentary also increased.
This is also the time period with the most degrees of freedom.
Freedom, that is, free play, Zhang Yang, as a guest, must conduct a series of analyses of the game, and Lineker becomes an assistant to guide the content of the conversation between the two.
Analysing the game, Zhang Yang stressed that Arsenal 'can't just focus on defense', "Defense is important. Arsenal have one less man and are leading the scoreline, so they have to defend well. But at the same time, they also have to fight a good counteroffensive. β
"Barcelona are one of the best attacking teams in the world, they are beautiful and lethal at the same time, there are several players up front, the technical ability is top-notch, and it is very difficult to defend and defend the half."
'Even though Barcelona didn't score in the first half, they will definitely step up in the second half.
"Whether Arsenal can win depends on whether they can find the right balance between attack and defence......
